Certainty Is Bullsh!t.

"These are uncertain times." How many times have you heard that in the past 18 months? It's the favourite phrase used by media outlets - and friends - whenever we are talking about the state of the world, the pandemic, climate change, or anything else that is clusterf*ck-y about life right now on the planet. But here's the thing: Certainty never existed. It was always an elaborate fiction, an illusion, a way of comforting ourselves against the fleeting nature of our human experience. Dig in with me on this episode as I explore why we cling to it, and how we can all build some kinds of certainty in times of chronic uncertainty. With love and gratitude, Israel. xo LINKS: Jim Fortin's Be Do Have Series Transform Your Life from the Inside Out.
